image->mode->grayscale.
Do it in a copy of the original before you accidentally hit "save" and loose the color version. Beware: grayscale jpegs don't show up in internet browsers. jeroentje |

You could also use image->adjust->desaturate. Since it's not really grayscale, wouldn't those show up in internet browers?

Another method:
Convert to lab color Select Lightness channel Duplicate Lightness channel into a new document Convert this document to grayscale The difference is not big, but converting this way results in a somewhat better conversion to grayscale (especially with flesh tones). Grayscale images do show up in the browser (at least in mine ![]() __________________

Another method, and one which allows you to do a lot of fine tuning, is to go to Image --> Adjust --> Channel Mixer and select the "monochrome" option. This way you can really spend hours balancing how the individual channels contribute to the final grayscale.

My favorite method:
1) Add a Curves Adjustment Layer and leave it alone. 2) Add an HSB Ad-Layer and bring Sat all the way down. 3) Go back to Curves Ad-Layer and play with individual channels to manual adjust contrast. Great trick. Works wonders for converting fleshtones to greyscale. |
